Grant Donation Scams Being Sent by Scammers

Online users, beware of fake Grant Donation emails like the ones below being sent by online scammers. The aim of the scammers is to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information. Then, the scammers will subsequently ask their potential victims to send them money before they can received their so-called grant. But, if the money is sent, the scammers will take it and disappear, and the victims will not get the grant they were promised.
